Aloha e Honorable County Council,
I am grateful for the continued efforts regarding the recovery from the 2018 eruption.The choices made by the county feel
appropriate and in the communities best interest regarding proposals for uses of water infrastructure projects in the most part.As a
community member choosing to sta in the inundated area,with viable land to return to,feel the community and myself would
appreciate thought on two possible proposals for the use of the funding.One proposal is to use the Parks and Rec undoing to create a
new pond and n the Ahalanui park property and to extend water to that sight.The creation of a beautiful new recreational swimming
area would bring the community healing and a tourist attraction that would benefit economic recovery tremendously to our Puna
District. I also have been continuing to hear about a proposed Agricultural Park between Hawaiin Homesteads and Pahoa.This is a
project I feel should be prioritized for food security of our island and allocating recovery funding to that site,is an idea I would like
the water department to deeply consider for funding.
I understand recovery takes-time,l am very happy the county has created a buyout program,
I am also very interested in helping with communication efforts to improve broadband in our Lower Puna area,willing to utilize our
tower at Kapoho Crater for connectivity,mahalo nui,Smiley Burrows
